Charlton 0 Chelsea 6
Charlton Athletic fell to a 6-0 defeat to Chelsea at the Valley in the Barclays Women’s Super League.
The visitors made a blistering start to the first half, scoring four goals in 19 minutes.
First, Chelsea captain, Nathalie Bjorn headed home from a Katie McCabe cross. Melvine Malard then converted her first of the game in the 10th minute, before Ellie Carpenter added a third three minutes later.
Malard then poked home her second following a goal mouth scramble to make it 4-0 to Chelsee inside nineteen minutes.
Chelsea continued to show no signs of letting up in the second half.
It took them ten minutes after the interval to score their fifth when substitute Aggie Beever-Jones scored slotted home from inside the Charlton penalty box.
Ten minutes later, they had another, this time Giulia Dragoni turning and finishing comprehensively into Koivunen’s goal in the 66th minute.
Charlton’s best chance of the game to get on the scoresheet came in the 69th minute when Ash Neville’s header from a corner beat Hannah Hampton, only to be cleared off the line by Chelsea’s Ellie Carpenter.
